bpf: Support llvm-objcopy for vmlinux BTF
commit 90ceddcb495008ac8ba7a3dce297841efcd7d584 upstream. Simplify gen_btf logic to make it work with llvm-objcopy. The existing 'file format' and 'architecture' parsing logic is brittle and does not work with llvm-objcopy/llvm-objdump. 'file format' output of llvm-objdump>=11 will match GNU objdump, but 'architecture' (bfdarch) may not. .BTF in .tmp_vmlinux.btf is non-SHF_ALLOC. Add the SHF_ALLOC flag because it is part of vmlinux image used for introspection. C code can reference the section via linker script defined __start_BTF and __stop_BTF. This fixes a small problem that previous .BTF had the SHF_WRITE flag (objcopy -I binary -O elf* synthesized .data). Additionally, `objcopy -I binary` synthesized symbols _binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_start and _binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_stop (not used elsewhere) are replaced with more commonplace __start_BTF and __stop_BTF. Add 2>/dev/null because GNU objcopy (but not llvm-objcopy) warns "empty loadable segment detected at vaddr=0xffffffff81000000, is this intentional?" We use a dd command to change the e_type field in the ELF header from ET_EXEC to ET_REL so that lld will accept .btf.vmlinux.bin.o. Accepting ET_EXEC as an input file is an extremely rare GNU ld feature that lld does not intend to support, because this is error-prone. The output section description .BTF in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h avoids potential subtle orphan section placement issues and suppresses --orphan-handling=warn warnings.
